Abstract (en)
Described and claimed is a hydraulic actuator comprising a cylinder housing (3) surrounding a cylinder cavity. A piston (5) is arranged in the cylinder cavity and separates the cylinder cavity into a first and a second pressure chamber (13,15). A connection (29) between the first and the second pressure chamber (13,15) for a hydraulic fluid is provided. A piston rod (7) extends from the piston along an actuation direction. A locking device (9) can be selectively switched between a locking mode and a non-locking mode, wherein in the locking mode the locking device prevents movement of the piston (5) and in the non-locking mode does not prevent movement of the piston (5). A first arrangement of piezoelectric elements (19) is arranged inside the first pressure chamber (13) which first arrangement of piezoelectric elements (19) is adapted to selectively contract or expand to change the volume of the first pressure chamber occupied by the piezoelectric elements of the first arrangement of piezoelectric elements.
